The Cultural Events Series at Frostburg State University will offer $9.99 tickets for local residents to attend a Maryland Symphony Orchestra virtual concert featuring a multiple Grammy Award-winning guitarist Sharon Isbin. The Sunday, April 11 event, led by MSO Musical Director Elizabeth Schulze, will be streamed live at 3 p.m. from the historic Maryland Theatre in Hagerstown, Maryland.

Acclaimed for her extraordinary lyricism, technique and versatility, Sharon Isbin was named by the Boston Globe as “the preeminent guitarist of our time.” She will join the orchestra in a program that includes “Tango!” from composer Paola Prestini, Ottorino Respighi’s “Ancient Airs and Dances, No. 3,” Antonio Vivaldi’s Guitar Concerto in D Major, RV 93 and Luigi Boccherini’s Quintetto IV in re maggiore (G. 448).

Remaining virtual events scheduled in the six-concert series include “MSO Pops!” on Sunday, May 2, at 3 p.m., and “Brown and Beethoven,” featuring pianist Michael Brown, on Sunday, June 6, at 3 p.m. 

This exclusive offer is made possible through a grant from the Community Trust Foundation’s Iris and Peter Halmos Community Fund. Performance tickets of $29.99 are discounted to $9.99. Frostburg State University students may purchase tickets at a price of $2.99. Ticket buyers will have access to a recording of the concert for one week after the live broadcast. This offer will be available until all grant funds have been spent.
